Winnie-6

It does make me laugh when people compare this film to Deep Impact. The films are not even similar apart from the initial storyline! Armageddon is far, far superior in every way, shape and form. Actors - Bruce Willis (superb), Billy Bob (brilliant), Steve Buscemi (comic of the year), Ben Affleck (hunky and gung ho) and the amazing Liv Tyler VS Tea Leoni (yeeooorrgghh), Robert Duvall (booooorriing), Elijah Wood (hmmmm, there is potential, just not in this film) Morgan Freeman (ok, one exception) and that annoying Carrie from ER (how cardboard can you get???) Special effects in Armageddon leave Impact for dead. Impact is not remotely funny - Armageddon pumps up the comedy from every angle. AND most of all - Armageddon crew had access to NASA. Impact had to rely on a shuttle launch that has been filmed by every other film-maker too. Armageddon may not be realistic but at least it is entertaining, emotional and Liv Tyler delivers the performance of a lifetime.

This is one of the most historic films of all time. The cast is one of the most perfect ever. Sally Field gives the performance of her life and should have received the Oscar for her moving portrayal of a grieving mother. But in this film there are tears through the laughter, laughter through the tears, it makes us all aware of how precious we are to one another. Probably my favourite film second only to Titanic.

Here are a few pointers about the X Files movie: 1. Nothing really different from the series. Mulder's stapstick humour, Scully's usual disbelief. 2. Much better special fx however. 3. I KNEW that they wouldn't kiss. Goddamn it. 4. The storyline is very good, but where can the series go from here. 5. I am a fan of the X Files and I was impressed with the film. Duchovny and Anderson have fantastic onscreen chemistry.
